This is the cost of the US occupation of Iraq, and the instability they have engendered with their ham-fisted attempts to run the place. Immediately after the fall of Saddam, the US had an opportunity to build a stable Iraq - an opportunity which they squandered because "nation building" - or what normal people would call "planning for the inevitable consequences of winning the war" - was apparently beneath them. And now, ordinary Iraqis are paying the price. Thanks, George!

Is it the cost of occupation or is it the cost of removing saddam?the test I presume is if the US left would it get better? or would they kill eachother all the same?
